MAFEX Boba Fett Star Wars Return of the Jedi Review Medicom

Ойын-сауық

I wanted to have a lot of hope for the Medicom MAFEX Boba Fett from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi action figure but over the years I've learned not to get high expectation. Makes it easier to be disappointed. Thankfully that is absolutely not the case here. Another awesome toy, as good as the The Empire Strikes Back version!

    Great review. The Jedi version is what I think of when I think of Fett, it's his blaster rifle there that really sticks in my mind. Your posed shots at the end really bring the figure to life... got to get this one.

    The cuffs above the boot are actually his spats! They're a separate cloth piece that protects/covers the ankle. I only know this because I started a Fett costume build.

    Love posing my ESB Boba. Am always looking at movie promo pics for reference, as the paint, sculpt and dimensions are almost spot on. I agree with your comments: the darker green applied on the ESB version to the gauntlets and jet pack, give a more uniform, military look. But I love the grooved handguard on his EE-3 rifle, the more greyish colour of his flight suit, the better placed pouches and pockets around his waist and his gauntlets design from ROTJ. Thanks for another great review.

    I appreciate it! Yeah, the belt and pouch placement on the ROTJ Fett is much more action figure friendly, it allows for less restricted movement at the hips. And like I said, I'll flip-flop daily on my favorite. Throwm something new and shiny at me and I'm happy for hours, heh.

In my dream, they make a mixed version ^^

    I already have the RAH 1/6 ROTJ Boba, and he's technically inaccurate since he has the battle-damage of ESB Fett but the color scheme of ROTJ Fett. I knew that when buying him though, and it gave me more incentive to purchase him as I always preferred the colors of ROTJ Fett, yet always digged the battle-damage of ESB Fett more. I thought it was a bit strange that they changed his entire suit's battle-damage layout instead of adding some more onto the first one. So in conclusion, the RAH 1/6 ROTJ Boba is my ideal and perfect Fett figure as of now (I don't have the Hot Toys one because of the off helmet and body shape, as well as the fact that it costs almost $100 more, I got the RAH one for $145). Ordered this Mafex one a few months ago, he should arrive soon. This video brought my hopes up, so thank you very much

    What sucks with Medicom is the QC issues. As soon as I got my ROTJ Mafex Fett out of his box, his arm popped off due to bad glue. I moved his leg forward and one of his pouches popped off, again due to bad glue. He was standing perfectly still with his flight stand and suddenly fell over, and the tip of his jet pack, the missile, broke off. I was so disappointed. I pre-ordered this guy days after he was announced and this is what I got. My RAH Fett is close to perfect though, and I love him so much. My only complaint is the loose trigger finger hand and the bad glue that was holding the cape, but I can tuck it into his armor with no trouble so I guess I have the option to display him without his cape now. So strange that the same company made the two figures.

    Ultrazilla Toys Yeah, you're right, I didn't even think of that. If the ROTJ hadn't been pushed back the month that it did they both would have released at the exact same time. Hindsight, I think they should have released ROTJ with no ESB announced. They would still been the first company to release a ROTJ, everyone would have bought it. Then announce a ESB version and people would have flocked to that to replace their existing ESB Fetts, based on the quality of the ROTJ.

    Yeah, but look at this way: at least it is movie accurate, as Jeremy Bullock was limited in his arm in and waist movement during the production of ESB and ROTJ. Maybe not be the best "action figure" in terms of robustness and articulation, but in terms of movie accuracy and a centrepiece figure it is amazing. The colour, paint apps (the 7 and tear symbol on my ESB figure are perfectly placed) and the proportions - an area where S.H Figuarts seem to fail - are almost a perfect representation of the movies. If that is what you are look for in a figure, then this is a must!

    Hey, how about you bash a figure for a change, instead of tempting me to frther thin the contents of my wallet? Haha, those Fetts sure look tremendous. I can even forgive them the shoulder pad attached to the torso. It looks good this way, movie accurate, and really, due to its shape doesnt get in the way so much. Those two figures are so good sculpt-wise, that I hope mafex releaes two versions of Jango Fett at some point as well (for what I know, the jumpsuit has different color on Kamino and Geonosis, and jetpacks are different too - on kamino he uses pretty much the same looking one as the RotJ Boba). Mafex is certainly giving sh figuarts run for their money with current releases (and frankly some shf has been rather disappointing recantly). Now I am impateintly waiting for Rogue One Vader, which seems like first good looking 6 inch figure of the Dark Lord. Finally, after all those years, we might get first decent figure of that character.

On top of that in the ANH:SE the shoulder pads are reversed. I can see that being an homage to the flipped footage from Jedi but I don't like it. Perfect world, the A New Hope appearance should have been the pre-production armor with the yellow left gauntlet, brown gloves, and helmet eyes.
